Come and enjoy a lunchtime Masterclass with Jane Beiles, acclaimed photographer for publications including The New York Times, Architectural Digest and House Beautiful.

This class is designed for any, and all, levels of photographers seeking to elevate their game. Participants will learn how to edit existing photos with the best practices standard to professional imagery. Jane will teach the key editing components and how to put them to use in order to improve your frames for personal or professional use. 

Takeaways will include a valuable toolkit to both enhance the photos in existing libraries plus informed knowledge to capture better frames in the future. Once registered, if you like, you will have the opportunity to submit an existing photo of yours which may be chosen as one of the frames to be used as a demonstrative learning tool for the class.

Jane’s classes are known to be both content-rich and joyful, with valuable educational kernels and more than a few laughs in the mix! 

The class will be taught on an iphone 16 but nearly all of the elements will be translatable to earlier models as well as to other manufacturers’ devices*. A brief touch on the new features on the 16 model will be helpful to new users or give owners of older versions information to decide if the investment in a new phone is worthwhile.

*if you are not an iphone user, you should be familiar enough with the analogous settings and navigation on your device as all instructions will be from the IOS perspective.

Please register & BYO Lunch!
